Hi, and welcome! I'm a big fan of smoking all year round - good way to get some practice cooks in before the summer bbq season.
I've got the same pro q as you and have found that on long cooks (18 hour pulled pork springs to mind), I had to refuel twice, and clear away the ash from some bog ...

Re: Wireless thermometer from uk under £40?
The Mavericks were around £45 on amazon but the prices seem to have leapt up.
I'd get the pork butt out the way first, wrap it and put it in a cooler box/bag with towels to keep warm. Then crank up the heat and put the chickens on and leave the sausages until last when you can remove the water pan ...

Re: Brisket -help please
Although tempted I've yet to pull the trigger on any of the online butchers selling Australian or USDA briskets. Prices with delivery are just too rich for me to justify. I have found a local butcher who provide fantastic Beef Short Rib but I've never been that impressed with their brisket, partly ...

Re: Beef short ribs - how long to smoke?
With big hunks like pork shoulder and brisket I let the resting bring it up to temp but I found taking the ribs up to 203/205f definitely makes them more tender.
I did try separating the ribs as I'd seen this advise and figured it would give more rub and smoke flavour but it didn't add much and I ...

Re: Beef short ribs - how long to smoke?
Hi GingerBen,
I have smoked beef short ribs a few times now, mainly because it's a cheaper cut of beef that gives great results.
I did find that taking the temp up to 205f internal made a big difference to how tender it came out compared with a tougher finish at 195f. (Cooked between 225 and 250f ...

Re: Fire lighter
The flamers are natural, just wood shavings soaked in a wax. Then the flame produced is what ignites the coal so no direct contact. This is no different to burning paper or hydrocarbon gases etc such as camping stoves.

Re: Fire lighter
Tried those flamers and they are awesome. Just need one under the chimney and everything is going really quickly with hardly any smoke or smell.

Re: Where can I buy Big K restaurant lump (15kg bag)
It's my local in Willerby, East Yorkshire. Down from £7.99 so looks like they are trying to clear stock, hence I've started stocking up.
